Embolization Helped Reclaim My Life

Success story explaining by patient Hope at Fibroid Treatment Collective

“Having fibroids was extremely uncomfortable. I was on my feet all the time, retained water, had lower back problems, bloating and cramping. After a failed myomectomy, I got proactive. I found Dr. Bruce McLucas online and had a consultation and discovered I was a candidate for uterine embolization. Today, I feel happy, I feel confident and I’m fibroid free.” – Kristian

After a myomectomy and surgery complications, Kristian’s fibroids returned. She had a non-surgical treatment called Uterine Fibroid Embolization and was able to reclaim her life.

“Free of Fibroids”

Hope said NO to hysterectomy. YES to non-surgical embolization.

“The worst thing about having fibroids was feeling like there was an alien inside of me. I had such horrible cramps. I had a feeling of heaviness, a feeling of being totally out of control. It was devastating to my social life and to my professional life.”

“Hope says that the best thing she ever did was ignore the doctors that recommended a hysterectomy and had a UAE (uterine artery embolization).”-Hope
